Staff has reviewed the application for the applicability of the Stormwater Management rules to the proposed activity at this project. Based on our review and on the Meeting Summary, you do not appear to be proposing a development activity on this site at this point in time that would be subject to the stormwater requirements as provided for in 15A NCAC 2H.1000. Please be advised that other regulations will potentially apply to your proposed activities. If the project disturbs one acre or more and has a point source discharge of stormwater runoff, then it is subject to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater discharge requirements. You are required to have an NPDES permit for stormwater discharge from projects meeting these criteria. Any temporary built -upon area associated with the grading operations for this project must be removed within 30 days of completing the project, or when it is no longer needed, whichever occurs first. This exemption applies only to the activities described in the attached Meeting Summary dated February 28, 2017, associated with Wildlife Hazard Mitigation. All other terms, conditions and limitations of the SW8 040836 permit issued on November 24, 2004, including all subsequent plan revisions, remain in full force and effect. If at any time, further construction or development of any part of this site is planned, as defined in NCAC 2H.1000, including, but not limited to subdivision, sale of the property in whole or in part, or if the proposed activities differ in any manner from what is described in the February 28, 2017 Meeting Summary, then you must submit the project for review of the applicability of the stormwater management rules and receive a permit prior to said construction or development. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to call Linda Lewis at (910) 796-7215 or email her at linda.lewis(@.ncdenr. ov.

The applicant is proposing to eliminate wildlife habitat areas and the mitigation of wildlife hazards to aircraft travel which may impact jurisdictional wetlands and streams near the Wilmington International Airport (ILM) in Wilmington, New Hanover County. I have reviewed this proposal for consistency with the 2016 New Hanover County Comprehensive Land Use Plan and offer the following comments. The general area of the project is classed as Commerce and Conservation. In general, New Hanover County allows development in Commerce and Conservation classified AECs, which is consistent with the State's minimum use standards. The New Hanover County Comprehensive Land Use Plan contains some policies, which exceed the State's minimum use standards. However, none of these policies appear to be applicable to this project. This project appears is consistent with the 2016 New Hanover County Comprehensive Land Use Plan, as well as with the enforceable land use plan policies of North Carolina's federally approved coastal management program.

Stormwater upgrades include work within wetlands and jurisdictional waters that involves the installation of pipes, filling to grade, and construction of a riprap outfall area adjacent to Smith Creek that will impact 465 ftz of navigable waters to Smith Creek, 3,206 ft of impacts to non -tidal Section 404 wetlands, and 4,214 ft of impacts to perennial, non -tidal stream NCWAM and NCWAM were used to grade the functionality of the systems. Compensatory mitigation offered by the applicant includes the purchase of credits from the Northeast Cape Fear Umbrella Mitigation Bank at a 1:1 ratio for wetlands and a 0.5:1 ratio for stream impacts located at Stream 1. No mitigation is proposed for Stream 3. Smith Creek at this location is classified C, SW by the Environmental Management Commission. The NC WRC has reviewed the permit application and does not object to the measures proposed to address wildlife hazards to comply with FAA standards.

The attached notice requests federal agency comments on this project by August 8, 2018. The applicant proposes to impacts waters of the U.S. in association with a Wildlife Mitigation project located within the Runway Safety Area (RSA) of Runway 24 and the Taxiway Safety Area (TSA) of Runway B at the ILM Airport in Wilmington, New Hanover County, North Carolina. Coordinates in Decimal Degrees are: 34.2627 N-77.9029 W. Previous Corps Authorizations associated with other Wildlife Mitigation projects at the ILM Airport include a Standard Permit (Corps AID SAW-2011-00455) and a NWP 39 (Corps AID SAW-2016-00075). Permanent impacts to the aquatic environment associated with this action total 0.07 acre non -tidal herbaceous wetland filled, 263 linear feet of stream channel (inland tidal water) piped, and 196 linear feet of non -tidal stream channel piped. All proposed impacts are located within the confines of the existing airport runway/taxiway areas, and have been historically impacted through channelization for storm water conveyance. The applicant proposes to provide compensatory mitigation for the impacts associated with the permanent loss of Wetland C at a 1:1 ratio and Stream 1 at a 0.5: 1 ratio through payment into the Northeast Cape Fear Umbrella Mitigation Bank. Compensatory mitigation for the impacts associated with Stream 3 are not proposed due to its low functional value associated with a concrete lined bed. Please see the attached NC DCM field investigation report, application, and plans for more detailed information concerning the proposed project. A kmz Google Earth file is attached for reference. Please note that the Google Earth pin is located slightly west of Wetland C and Stream 1 (identified by its Y shape). EFH: The Corps has determined that the proposed project will have No Effect on EFH or associated fisheries managed by the South Atlantic or Mid Atlantic Fishery Management Councils or the National Marine Fisheries Service. The waters of Smith Creek adjacent to the project area, are designated SC; SW by the Division of Water Resources. Waters adjacent to and within the project area are NOT designated as PNA by the NC Division of Marine Fisheries and are CLOSED to the taking of shellfish. ESA: The Corps has reviewed the project area, examined all information provided by the applicant and consulted the latest North Carolina Natural Heritage Database. The project will not affect any species listed as threatened or endangered or their critical habitat formally designated pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA) within the project area. NHPA 106: Pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, Appendix C of 33 CFR Part 325, and the 2005 Revised Interim Guidance for Implementing Appendix C, the District Engineer consulted district files and records and the latest published version of the National Register of Historic Places, the Corps has preliminarily determined that the proposed project will have no effect on cultural resources and requests concurrence from the State Historic Preservation Office.

Troy Beasley 219 Station Road, Suite 101 Wilmington, NC 28405 tbeasley@withersravenel.com Dear Sir: This letter is in reference to your application for a Coastal Area Management Act Major Permit on behalf of Wilmington Airport Authority to undertake development activities on their property at 1740 Airport Blvd, adjacent to Smith Creek, in Wilmington, New Hanover County. Although processing of the application is nearing completion, additional time is needed for this office to complete the review and make a decision on your request. Therefore, it is necessary that the standard review time be extended. An additional 75 days is provided by G.S. 113A-122 (c) which would make October 7, 2018, the new deadline for reaching a decision on your request. However, we expect to take action prior to that time and will do so as soon as possible. In the interim, should you have any question on the status of your application, do not hesitate to contact me by phone (910-796-7426) or e-mail (courtney.spears@ncdenr.gov). Si erely, ourtney.

Wilmington, NC 28405 Email correspondence to and from this address is subject to the North Carolina Public Records Law and may be disclosed to third parties. Troy Courtney passed this on to me, and after looking through the project file for your project, I can offer the following. Based upon the information in the file, I do not currently see any issues that I believe should prevent the issuance of the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) permit for this project. However, please be advised that we cannot say with certainty that a permit can or will be issued until all comments are received from our commenting agencies. Specifically, the issuance of our permit is dependent on the issuance of a 401 Water Quality Certification by the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR). Consequently, any issues that would prevent the issuance of the 401 Certification would also prevent the issuance of our CAMA permit. We have reached out to DWR staff concerning the status of their review, but have not heard back from them at this time. I also anticipate that, should the 401 Certification be issued, DCM should be able to take our final action on your application within a matter of a few days. I hope this information gives you what you need. As always, if you have any additional questions about this or any other project, please don't hesitate to give me a call.

I just wanted to follow up on this to see if the additional comments have come in? We have hit a major deadline in that the FAA grant application for the funding for this project has to be submitted by tomorrow. As part of the grant request, we must have the approved FAA Environmental Assessment (EA). The EA approval is pending the confirmation that the CAMA permit for this project will be eventually issued. They don't need the actual CAMA permit, but rather that the project does qualify for a CAMA Major Permit and,the permit will be issued once the review process has been completed. Keep in mind that the airport is at risk of losing $1.5 million in funding for this project if we are unable to provide documentation that the project meets the conditions for approval under a CAMA major permit and submit the FAA grant application by tomorrow. I know you were waiting on some of the agencies to provide comment, and I understand that they requested a little additional time to provide comment. Given the circumstances that the airport is at risk of losing the $1.5 million FAA funding, is there any way to reach out to the remaining agencies and see if they can review the application and provide comments as quickly as possible? If you can give me the names of the reviewers with the agencies that you are waiting on comments from, I'll be happy to contact them. If possible, all we really need is an email response from NCDCM that there have been no major issues identified with the project that would result in denial of the CAMA Major Permit. This would be sufficient documentation for the FAA to approve the EA and allow us to get the FAA grant application submitted. Thanks in advance for your helpl Feel free to call me with any questions or if you would like to discuss this further.

May 25, 2018 It is the staffs recommendation that the proposal of Wilmington Airport Authority to eliminate wildlife habitat areas as a part of FAA required improvements to mitigate wildlife hazards to aircraft travel within the airfield by making upgrades to an existing stormwater system located over wetlands by installing new pipes, filling to grade, and constructing a riprap outfall area adjacent to Smith Creek is CONSISTENT with the Rules of 15 NCAC 7H.0205 (d) Use Standards for Coastal Wetlands, Rules of 15 NCAC 7H.0208 (d) Use Standards for Estuarine Waters, Rules of 15 NCAC 7H.0207 (d) Use Standards for Public Trust Areas and Rules of 15 NCAC 7H.0209 Coastal Shorelines. It is staffs recommendation that the proposed light bar construction is CONSISTENT with the Rule in 15 NCAC 7H.0208 (a) (3) which states "When the proposed development is in conflict with the general or specific use standards set forth in this Rule, the CRC may approve the development if the applicant can demonstrate that the activity associated with the proposed project will have public benefits as identified in the findings and goals of the Coastal Area Management Act, that the public benefits clearly outweigh the long range adverse effects of the project, that there is no reasonable and prudent altemate site available for the project, and that all reasonable means and measures to mitigate adverse impacts of the project have been incorporated into the project design and will be implemented at the applicant's expense. These measures taken to mitigate or minimize adverse impacts may include actions that will: (A) minimize or avoid adverse impacts by limiting the magnitude or degree of the action; (B) restore the affected environment; or (C) compensate for the adverse impacts by replacing or providing substitute resources. The New Hanover Airport Authority has minimized and avoided impacts by choosing to relocate the existing light bar 400 feet landward rather than construct a new catwalk and MALSR. The Airport is proposing to avoid impacts to wetlands by installing mats and restoring any impacted Coastal Wetlands.

Page 2 9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Wilmington Intemational Airport is located at 1740 Airport Boulevard Road (off North 231d Street) in Wilmington, New Hanover County and is adjacent to Smith Creek. To locate the project site from NC Highway 17, travel north on North 231,1 Street for approximately 2 miles to the intersection of Airport Boulevard. Turn right onto Airport Boulevard. Access to the project site is restricted due to FAA security regulations and can be accessed by escort from the Airport Authority staff. You may contact the airport Director Julie Wilsey (910) 941-4333 at the Wilmington International Airport to schedule a site visit. The Wilmington International Airport consists of an airport terminal, parking, hangars, runways, roadways, approach lighting systems including catwalk and light bars, and associated facilities. The Wilmington International Airport is located on a large tract totaling 1,340 acres and is a mix of wetlands and uplands with an average elevation of 7 feet above Normal High Water (NHW). The adjacent properties surrounding the project site are a mix of undeveloped uplands, commercial and residential properties. The project sites are located within the active airfield, which is maintained/mowed regularly to manage vegetation at very low heights as required by the FAA. The Stream 1 Project Area is located adjacent to the Runway Safety Area (RSA) of Runway 35 and Taxiway Safety Area (TSA) of Taxiway A. The Stream 1 Project Area contains a perennial inland tidal (freshwater) UT to Smith Creek (Stream 1) and non-fidal 404 wetlands (Wetland C). Vegetation in this area is primarily upland grasses and is consistently maintained per FAA requirements. Stream 1 is considered to have a low functional value according to NCWAM assessment provided in the application package. The banks of Stream 1 were previously riprapped but are heavily eroded from the discharge from an open 30" pipe that drains the airfield. Erosion has resulted in heavy sedimentation downstream approximately 250' to Smith Creek. Wetland C is adjacent to Stream 1 and is considered a low quality wetland via NCWAM assessment consisting of Juncus effuses, Fimbristylis spadicea, and Andropogon glomeratus as well as upland grasses and herbs. Wetland C is fed by a 24" open stormwater pipe and may have been created as the result of stormwater drainage eroding down to the water table. Wetland C joins to Stream 1 approximately 65' before Stream 1 discharges in to Smith Creek. Normal High Water within Stream 1 begins at the 30" outall pipe and meets with Smith Creek but was determined non -navigable by DCM staff at a site visit on January 19, 2018. However, at the confluence of Stream 1 and Smith Creek DCM has determined that Smith Creek is navigable and would be subject to the 30' buffer rule. The 30' buffer encompasses an area of 2,031 square feet within the Stream 1 Project Area. A chain link fence crosses the confluence of the Stream 1 and Smith Creek to prevent wildlife from entering the airfield. Along the south side of the Stream 1 Project Area and adjacent to Smith Creek, a mix of Coastal and 404 type Wetlands are present. Coastal Wetland vegetation consists primarily of broad-leaved cattails (Typha latffolia) and sawgrass (Cladium jamaicense). Large expanses of common reed (Phragmites australis) are present and intermixed along the shoreline of Smith Creek and its tributaries. The wetlands south of the approach to runway 35 range in width from 150 feet to 1500+feet along the shoreline of Smith Creek and its tributaries to the highground. The Stream 3 project area is located adjacent to the RSA of Runway 24 and the TSA of Runway B. The Stream 3 Project Area contains a perennial, non -tidal UT to Smith Creek (Stream 3). 196 linear feet of Stream 3 is open and has been historically lined with concrete and flows from three 60" stormwater pipes upstream to three 60" stormwater pipes downstream. There are two eroded grate inlets, one to the south and one to the north, that contain 42" and 36" stormwater pipes, respectively, that discharge in to the open Stream 3 channel. Stream 3 has a 404/401 jurisdictional status and the surrounding area is exclusively maintained upland grasses, there is no wefland vegetation present. The New Hanover County Land Use Plan classifies the high ground portion of the property as Commerce and the wetland areas as Conservation. The waters of Smith Creek are classified C; Sw by the Division of Water Resources (DWR), and they are CLOSED to shellfishing. This section of Smith Creek and its tributaries ARE NOT designated as a Primary Nursery Area (PM".N.LCdivision of Marine Fisheries (DMF). VE PROPOSED PROJECT MAY 3 12018 The applicant proposes to eliminate wildlife habitat areas as a part of FAA required improvements to mitigat@GM40glotQp�p�raft travel within the airfield by making upgrades to an existing stormwater system located over wetlands by installing new pipes, r-f Iling to grade, and constructing a riprap ouffall area adjacent to Smith Creek. The proposed project is split in to two focus areas, Streaml Project Area, and Stream 3 Project Area. Within the Stream 1 Project Area is Stream 1 and Wetland C. The applicant proposes connect a 245 linear foot 48" aluminum pipe to the existing 30" outall pipe at the head of Stream 1 through a junction box with manhole frame. The proposed 48" aluminum pipe would lead from the junction box to the confluence of Stream 1 and Smith Creek (at the metal fence). At the base of the 48" outfall would be an aluminum endwall and wingwalls and a 24' in width by 16' in length Class 1 Riprap apron. The apron would be within the channel of Smith Creek, -3.0' below Normal High Water, and would serve as outlet protection to the banks. The applicant states that a cofferdam would be constructed within the footprint of the proposed riprap dissipator and used to dewater the project area for installation. Water flow would be pumped around the project areas and back in to the stream until work is completed. The applicant proposes a 168 linear foot 24" aluminum pipe to connect to the existing 24" outfall pipe through a junction box with manhole frame. The proposed 24" aluminum pipe would lead from the junction box and connect to the proposed 48" aluminum pipe through a 48" by 24" WYE and 30" manhole access riser. The connection would be located approximately 70' from the confluence of Stream 1 and Smith Creek. The applicant proposes 4,600 cubic yards of fill for this project area to bring it to grade. The existing chain link fence would be replaced behind the new endwall after filling and grading are complete. Within the Stream 3 Project Area, the applicant proposes to connect three (3) 196 linear foot 72" aluminum pipes to three existing 60" stormwater pipes located upstream and downstream of Stream 3. Three 30" manhole risers with frame and grate will be installed at the upstream connection area. As proposed, the existing 42" diameter pipe gate inlet to the south will connect to the proposed 72" pipes through anew 42" diameter stub out pipe. Similarly, the exiting 36" diameter stormwater pipe and gate inlet to the north will also connect directly to the proposed 72" pipes through a new 36" diameter stub out pipe. Three manhole access risers with frame and grate will be installed downstream of Stream 3. The applicant proposes 1,700 cubic yards of fill for this project area to bring it to grade. The existing concrete channel would not be removed for this project. Sift fencing would be installed around all disturbed areas in accordance with the Sediment and Erosion Control Plan. Graded areas would be sodded with live grass sod to provide permanent stabilization. 10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS The proposed construction of the 245 linear foot 48" aluminum pipe within Steam 1 would result in 3,228 squarefeet of permanent impact to Section 404 stream (labeled Impact#1A in Figure 2). The proposed riprap dissipatorand associated concrete endwall and wing walls would result in 465 square feet of permanent impacts to navigable waters within Smith Creek (labeled Impact #16 in Figure 2). The proposed 168 linear foot 24" aluminum pipe within Wetland C would result in 3,206 square feet of permanent impacts to non-fidal Section 404 wetlands. The Stream 1 Project area would require 43,101 square feet of high ground disturbance for the placement of 4,600 cubic yards of fill. The Stream 1 Project Area would have an overall impact of 2,031 square feet within the 30' Public Trust Shoreline and Public Trust Waters Area of Environmental Concern. The proposed construction of three 196 linear foot 72" aluminum pipes and stub out connections to existing grate inlets within Stream 3 would result in 4,214 square feet of permanent impacts to perennial, non -tidal stream (labeled Impact #3 in Figure 4). The Stream 3 Project area would require 37,330 square feet of high ground disturbance for the placement of 1,700 cubic yards of fill. The applicant proposes to mitigate for 3,206 square feet of permanent impacts to Wetlands C within the Stream 1 Project Area by purchasing wetland credits at a ratio of 1:1 from the Northeast Cape Fear Umbrella Mitigation Bank (NECFUMB), which sells credits at one -tenth increments. Mitigation for 292 linear feet of Stream 1 impacts (Impact #1A and #1B) within the Stream 1 Project Area is proposed at a 0.5:1 ratio. The applicant proposes to purchase 146.5 linear feet of freshwater tidal stream credits offsite from the NECFUMB. No compensation is proposed for impacts to Stream 3 within the Stream 3 Project Area.

Wilmington, NC 28405 Re: Wilmington International Airport Wildlife Mitigation Project for Wet Detention Basins and Open Ditches Wilmington, New Hanover County CAMA Major Development Permit Application Submittal WR Project #03110288.31 Dear Mr. Surgan: The Wilmington Airport Authority requests a CAMA Major Development Permit for the Wilmington International Airport (ILM) Wildlife Mitigation Project for Wet Detention Basins and Open Ditches. The proposed project is located at the Wilmington International Airport at 1740 Airport Blvd in Wilmington, New Hanover County, North Carolina (Lat: 34.262814°N; Long: - 77.902695°W). The Wilmington International Airport (PARID: PID: R04200-001-025-000) is located in the Cape Fear River Basin (HUC 03030007) and onsite waters drain to Smith Creek. The Water Quality Classification for Smith Creek is C;Sw and the Stream Index Number is: 18-74-63. Smith Creek is classified as an"Inland Water' by the NC Division of Marine Fisheries. Proposed Project The purpose of the proposed project is to meet FAA requirements by mitigating public safety hazards associated with aircraft travel by eliminating wildlife habitat hazards within the airfield to improve aircraft safety. The proposed project consists of piping, filling and grading Wetland C, Stream 1 and Stream 3, as depicted in the attached exhibits. The FAA has identified these areas as wildlife hazards, which are within close proximity to the Runway Safety Areas (RSA) and Taxiway Safety Areas (TSA) that must be eliminated to meet FAA requirements and prevent wildlife strikes. These features attract both birds and terrestrial wildlife, with the terrestrial wildlife being the primary concern. These features are in very close proximity to the runways and taxiways, greatly increasing the likelihood of a wildlife strike with an aircraft. Several months ago, a small passenger aircraft struck a coyote on the runway, and the proposed project is critical to improving aircraft and public safety.

The project consists of two separate project areas. Stream 1 Project Area - t2.0 acres o Located south of the end of Taxiway A at Runway 35 o Lat: 34.26853°N; Long:-77.902677°W o Impact 1A - Stream 1 (Section 404/401 inland tidal water - Not subject to CAMA jurisdiction) o Impact 113 - Stream 1(Navigable Water - Subject to CAMA Jurisdiction) o Impact 2 - Wetland C (non -tidal 404 herbaceous wetland) The proposed activities at this project area consists of extending the existing stormwater drainage pipes to beyond the perimeter security fence in order to eliminate wildlife habitat within the RSA and TSA. This will be accomplished by installing a 48-inch pipe and junction box within Stream 1 that will connect to the existing 30-inch stormwater drainage pipe, which outfalls into Stream 1. A 24-inch pipe will be installed within Wetland C, which will connect to the existing 24-inch stormwater drainage pipe which discharges into Wetland C. The 24-inch pipe in Wetland C and will connect to the 48-inch pipe in Stream 1 which will extend beyond the perimeter fence. An aluminum head wall and wing walls will be constructed at the end of the 48-inch pipe to stabilize the proposed fill. The perimeter fence will be reconstructed on top of the headwall. A rip -rap dissipator will be installed below the outfall in order to dissipate outfall velocity and prevent erosion and sedimentation of downstream waters and wetlands. Once the stormwater pipes and headwall/wing walls have been installed, the surrounding area will be filled and graded to create a wide, gently sloping grassed swale which will collect runoff from Runway 35 and Taxiway A and provide water quality treatment before conveying the runoff beyond the perimeter fence. Also, the filling and grading in this area will create a gently sloping swale that allows for better vegetation maintenance/mowing as required by the FAA. Please note that the proposed project wil I not create any additional impervious area, and will not change the existing volume of stormwater drainage discharging into Stream 1. Stream 3 Project Area - t2.0 acres o Located at north end of Runway 24, between Runway 24 and Taxiway B o Lat: 34.275290°N;-77.894426°W o Impact 3 -Stream 3 (non -tidal stream, historically lined with concrete). The proposed activities at this project area consists of installation of three 72-inch pipes within the open portion of Stream 3, which will connect the upstream and downstream 72-inch stormwater drainage pipes in order to create a closed drainage system, thereby eliminating the wildlife habitat as required by the FAA. Once the stormwater pipes have been installed, the surrounding area will be filled and graded to create a wide, gently sloping grassed swale which will collect runoff from Runway 24 and Taxiway B and funnel it into two existing grated stormwater inlets and six proposed grated stormwater inlets. The existing pipes (North Pipe: 36-inch; South Pipe: 42-inch) below the two existing grated stormwater inlets will be connected to the proposed 72-inch pipes. The six proposed grated stormwater inlets (30-inch) will be constructed on top of the proposed 72-inch pipes. The upland area around the open portion of Stream 3 currently acts as temporary storm storage when flow during large storms (i.e. hurricanes) results in flow rates and volumes that caused the pipes to back up. The cause of the pipes backing up is primaRFCEdVW undersized N ssc ow MAY 31 2018 ktO 10 DCM-MHD CITY paVgG�ON' orIM Nc Wilmington International Airport - Wildlife Mitigation Project for ;% Wth e f S Rave n e l Wet Detention Basins and Open Ditches o� i _ culverts at North Kerr Avenue. When the flow in the pipes backs up, the water overflows into the upland area around Stream 3, where it is temporarily stored and eventually drains back into the open ditch once flow decreases. Since the drainage system will be closed, the two existing and eight grated storm inlets will mimic the existing conditions and will serve dual functions: • During small storm events, the grated storm inlets will collect storm runoff and convey it into the proposed pipes. • During large storm events where the volume and rate of flow is at levels resulting in the pipes backing up, water will flow out of the grated storm inlets, allowing for temporary storage in the surrounding uplands. Once flow decreases, the water will flow into the grated inlets and back into the pipes, returningthe area to dry conditions. Also, the filling and grading in this area will create a gently sloping swale that allows for better vegetation maintenance/mowing as required by the FAA. Project History Onsite wetlands were delineated by WithersRavenel in February 2017. The jurisdictional limits and status of Wetland C, Stream 1 and Stream 3 were confirmed by Kyle Dahl with the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) on 03/14/17 (SAW-2016-00075). However, a JD has not been issued to date. A Preliminary JD Request specific for these features has been provided as an Appendix. A site visit with Chad Coburn with the INC Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) was conducted on V10/18 to review Wetland C, Streams 1 & 3 and to discuss the proposed impacts. An onsite pre -application meeting was conducted with Brooks Surgan with NC Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM) and Liz Hair with the USACE was conducted on 1/19/18. During the meeting, Wetland C, Stream 1 and Stream 3 were reviewed and the proposed impacts were discussed. Please note that during the meeting, it was confirmed that Stream 3 has been historically lined with concrete. In an email dated 1/22/18, Brooks Surgan with NCDCM confirmed that the CAMA jurisdiction for Stream 1 stops at the perimeter security fence, as this feature is non -navigable upstream of the perimeter fence. The 30' CAMA AEC at the end of the CAMA jurisdiction extends 30 ft west of the perimeter fence and into the project area. A copy of Mr. Surgan's email has been provided as an Appendix. The Wilmington International Airport has received authorizations for two previous Wildlife Hazard Mitigation projects that involved removal of wildlife habitat as required by the FAA. The projects were: • ILM Runway 24 Wildlife Hazard & NAVAID Critical Area Mitigation - 2014 o USACE 404 Individual Permit (AID# SAW-2011-00455) o NCDWR Individual401 WQC (Project #13-1263) CE�v�O aE • ILM Wildlife Hazard Mitigation Project - 2017 o USACE NWP 39 (AID# SAW-2016-00075) MPS o NCDWR 401 WQC (Project #2017-0798) RECEIVED 0 GWN1%.W'G10N,ND MAY 31 2018 DCM-MHD CITY Page 3 of 8 Wilmington International Airport-WildIifeMitigationProjectfor ;% WithersRavenel Wet Detention Basins and Open Ditches The cumulative impacts associated with previous permitted actions at the airport exceed thresholds for requiring mitigation, and therefore the applicant is proposing to provide mitigation for the proposed impacts associated with the current project. Existing Conditions Both project areas are located within the active airfield, which is maintained/mowed regularly to manage vegetation at very low heights as required by the FAA. The Stream 1 Project Area is located adjacent to the Runway Safety Area (RSA) of Runway 35 and Taxiway Safety Area (TSA) of Taxiway A. The Stream 3 Project Area is located adjacent to the RSA of Runway 24 and the TSA of Runway B. Stream 1 Project Area contains a perennial inland tidal (freshwater) UT to Smith Creek (Stream 1) and a non -tidal 404 wetland (Wetland Q. The banks of Stream 1, as well as the vegetation within Wetland C are regularly maintained. The banks of Stream 1 are very steep, and have been historically lined with various forms of rip -rap materials in an effort to minimize erosion. However, heavy erosion of the banks of Stream 1 result in significant sedimentation of the downstream section of Stream 1, and ultimately Smith Creek. Wetland C is a low quality wetland which was created as a result of the stormwater drainage eroding down to the water table. Erosion within Wetland C during storm events also contributes to the sedimentation of downstream portions of Stream 1. The Stream 3 Project Area contains a perennial, non -tidal UT to Smith Creek (Stream 3). Both the upstream and downstream portions of Stream 3 have been historically piped, with only 196 If of open stream remaining. The channel bottom of Stream 3 has been historically lined with concrete to prevent erosion. This has effectively eliminated the functional value of Stream 3, but does not negate the 404/401 jurisdictional status. Areas of Environmental Concern Stream 1 is an inland tidal UT to Smith Creek, which is classified as C;Sw, and is subject to a 30' CAMA Area of Environmental Concern (AEC). NCDCM has determined that CAMA jurisdiction stops at the perimeter fence, as the upstream portions of Stream 1 are not navigable. The 30' AEC extends 30 ft west of the perimeter fence, and encompasses approximately 0.05 acres (2,031 sq ft) of the Stream 1 Project Area. While the proposed project will not result in impervious area within the 30' AEC, the entire 30' AEC within the project area will be filled and graded.

Wetlands & Streams Stream 1 Project Area contains: EO • Wetland C - 0.07 acres (Impact 2) • Stream 1(Section 404/10 - Non-CAMA) - 262 If (Impact 1A) O 1�18 • Stream 1(Navigable Waters - CAMA) - 301f (Impact 1B) Mph 1 Stream 3 Project Area contains: w`�tp1NGTON NC • Stream 3 (Section 404) -196 If (Impact 3) p�M Upland Development The proposed upland development consists of the filling and grading of the areas within the Stream 1 Project Area and Stream 3 Project Area. The filling and grading are necessary in order to raise the grades of these areas in order to allow for better vegetation maintenance as required by the FAA. The Stream 1 Project Area will be graded to create a wide, gently sloping grassed swale which will capture runoff from Runway 24 and Taxiway A and provide water quality treatment before conveying the drainage into the wetlands to the east. The Stream 3 project area will be graded to create a wide, gently sloping grassed swale which will collect runoff from Taxiway B and Runway 24 and funnel the runoff to stormwater inlets. At Stream 3 Project Area, once the stormwater pipes have been installed, the surrounding area will be filled and graded to create a wide, gently sloping grassed swale which will collect runoff from Runway 24 and Taxiway B and funnel it into two existing grated stormwater inlets and six proposed grated stormwater inlets. The two existing grated storm inlets flow into existing pipes (North Pipe: 36-inch; South Pipe: 42-inch), which will be connected to the proposed 72-inch pipes. The six proposed grated stormwater inlets (30-inch) will be constructed on top of the proposed 72-inch pipes. The upland area around the open portion of Stream 3 currently acts as temporary storm storage when flow during large storms (i.e. hurricanes) results inflow rates and volumes that caused the pipes to back up. The cause of the pipes backing up is primarily due to an undersized NCDOT culvert at North Kerr Avenue. When the flow in the pipes backed up, the water overflows into the upland area around Stream 3, where it is temporarily stored and eventually drains back into the open ditch once flowdecreases. Since the drainage system will be closed, the two existing and eight grated storm inlets will mimic the existing conditions and will serve dual functions: • During small storm events, the grated storm inlets will collect storm runoff and convey it into the proposed pipes. • During large storm events where the volume and rate of flow is at levels resulting in the pipes backing up, water will flow out of the grated storm inlets, allowing for temporary storage in the surrounding uplands. Once flow decreases, the water will flow into the grated inlets and back into the pipes, returning the area to dry conditions. Proposed Impacts The proposed impacts consist of 0.07 acre of permanent impacts to non -tidal 404wetlands (Impact 2 / Wetland C), 262 If of permanent impacts to a Section 404/10 inland tidal water (Impact 1A/Stream 1), 30 If of permanent impacts to a navigable stream subject to CAMA jurisdiction (Impact 1B/Stream 1) and 196 If of permanent impacts to a non -tidal s impa t 3/Stream 3). REMOVED MAY 31 2018 DCM-MHD CITY Page 5 of 8 Wilmington International Airport-WildlifeMitigationProjectfor 1/ WithersRavenel Wet Detention Basins and Open Ditches Our People Your Success Ultimately, all jurisdictional features within the project areas will be removed in order to eliminate the wildlife habitat as required by the FAA. Avoidance and Minimization The proposed impacts are necessary to remove wildlife habitat within the RSA and TSA to meet FAA safety requirements at ILM by removing wildlife habitat to prevent wildlife strikes. Since the wildlife habitat to be removed consists of jurisdictional wetlands and streams, impacts could not be avoided or minimized. It should be noted that the wetlands and streams proposed to be impacted are highly degraded as a result of historic activities at ILM. Specifically, Wetland C is not a natural wetland and was created as a result of the stormwater drainage eroding the area within Wetland C to the groundwater table. The vegetation within Wetland C consists of early successional herbaceous wetland vegetation. WithersRavenel conducted an NCWAM functional assessment of Wetland C, which determined that the functional value was "Low". Stream 1 is an inland tidal stream which was historically channelized to convey stormwater from the closed stormwater management system beyond the perimeter fence. The channelization and down cutting has resulted in very steep banks. Stream 1 experiences significant erosion of the banks, resulting in sedimentation of the downstream section of Stream 1 and ultimately Smith Creek. The proposed piping of Stream 1 will result in overall improvements to the water quality within downstream portions of Stream 1 and Smith Creek by eliminating the current erosion and sediment transport into these streams. WithersRavenel conducted an NCSAM functional assessment of Stream 1, which determined that the functional value was "Low". Stream 3 has been historically lined with concrete to prevent erosion, which effectively eliminated the functional value of the open portions of Stream 3. Silt fencing will be installed around all disturbed areas in accordance with the Sediment & Erosion Control Plan, which will be reviewed and approved by NCDMLR. Upon completion of grading, all areas will be sodded with live grass sod to provide permanent stabilization. Installation of the proposed culverts will completed "in the dry". This will be accomplished through the use of coffer dams and pumping flow around the project areas and back into the streams downstream. The coffer dam for Stream 1 will be constructed within the footprint of the proposed rip -rap dissipator during dewatering, and converted to the final rip -rap dissipator once installation of the culvert is complete. Mitigation Since the proposed project does not avoid and minimize impacts to jurisdictional C" wetlands, compensatory mitigation is proposed. �.

The mitigation will be purchased from the Northeast Cape Fear Umbrella Mitigation Bank (NECFUMB), which sells credits in one -tenth acre increments. Therefore, the applicant proposes to purchase 0.10 acres of wetland mitigation. A copy of the Letter of Availability from NECFUMB has been provided as an Appendix. Stream Mitigation The NCSAM assessment of Stream 1 determined the functional value to be "Low". The proposed piping of Stream 1 will result in an overall benefit to the water quality of the downstream portions of Stream 1, and ultimately Smith Creek, by eliminating the introduction of significant levels of sediment resulting from the eroding stream banks. Considering the low functional value of Stream land water quality benefits resulting from eliminating the sedimentation from the eroding banks, a 0.5:1 mitigation ratio is proposed for Impacts 1A & 1B, which total 292 If. The proposed 0.5:1 ratio results in the purchase of 146 If of offsite stream credits. NECFUMB has freshwater tidal stream credits available. Therefore, the applicant proposes to purchase the 146.5 If of freshwater tidal stream credits from the NECFUMB. A copy of the Letter of Availability from the NECFUMB has been provided as an Appendix. Stream 3 has been historically lined with concrete, which effectively eliminated the functional value.

Give a brief description of purpose, use, and daily operations of the project when complete. The purpose of the proposed project is to mitigate safety hazards by eliminating wildlife habitatlattractants within the airfield near the runways and taxiways in order to improve aircraft safety during arrival and departure. The FAA has identified several wildlife habitat features within the Wilmington International Airport which must be removed, as these features attract both birds and terrestrial wildlife, with the terrestrial wildlife being the primary concern. The close proximity of the these features to the runways and taxiways significantly increase the likelihood of a wildlife strike by an aircraft. In 2017, a small passsenger plane struck a coyote on the runway, so the proposed project is critical to aircraft and public safety. This application is specific to the removal of Stream 1 (inland -tidal water), Stream 3 and Wetland C. Stream 1 (Impacts 1A & 1 B) and Wetland C (Impact 2) are adjacent to the Runway Safety Area (RSA) of Runway 35 and the Taxiway Safety Area (TSA) of Taxiway A. Stream 3 (Impact 3) is located adjacent to the RSA for Runway 24 and the TSA for Taxiway B. Please note that Stream 1 is an inland -tidal stream. However, in an email from Brooks Surgan, dated 1/22/18, it was determined that CAMA jurisdiction stops at the perimeter fence, as portion of Stream 1 upstream of the perimeter fence is not navigable. Therefore the portions of Stream 1 upstream the perimeter fence (Impact 1A) are considered Section 404/10 waters, which are not subject to CAMA jurisdiction. The portion of Stream 1 downstream of the perimeter fence (Impact 1 B) is considered navigable waters subject to CAMA jurisdiction. The completion of the project will increase aircraft and public safety as part of the normal daily operation and activities associated with the operation of the airport c. Describe the proposed construction methodology, types of construction equipment to be used during construction, the number of each type of equipment and where it is to be stored. The project will be constructed by installing drainage pipes connecting to the existing storm drainage system in order to capture and convey flow past the perimeter fence in order to eliminate wildlife habitat within the perimeter fence and within the RSA and TSA. Standard commercial construction equipment of various size and number will be used to construct the proposed project (see Project Narrative for more information). All equipment will be stored outside of the AEC in uplands adjacent to the projects.

List all development activities you propose. The development actitivies consist of extending the existing storm drainage pipes in order to eliminate wildlife habitat within the RSA and TSA. At the Stream 1 Project Area (Impacts to & 1B/Stream & Impact 2NVetland C), the existing stormwater drainage pipes will be extended beyond the perimeter fence. This will be accomplished by installing a 245-ft long x 48" aluminum pipe and junction box within Stream 1 that will connect to the existing 30" stormwater drainage pipe, which outfalls into Stream 1. A 168-ft long x 24" aluminum pipe will be installed within Wetland C, which will connect to the existing 24" stormwater drainage pipe which discharges into Wetland C. The 24" pipe in Wetland C and will connect to the 48" pipe in Stream 1 which will extend beyond the perimeter fence. An aluminum head wall and wing walls will be constructed at the end of the 48" pipe to stabilize the proposed fill. The perimeter fence will be reconstructed on top of the headwall. A rip -rap dissipator will be installed below the outfall in order to dissipate outfall velocity and prevent erosion and sedimentation of downstream waters and wetlands. Once the stormwater pipes and headwall/wing walls have been installed, the surrounding area will be filled and graded to create a wide, gently sloping grassed swale which will collect runoff from Runway 35 and Taxiway A and provide water quality treatment before conveying the runoff beyond the perimeter fence. Also, the filling and grading in this area will create a gently sloping swale that allows for better vegetation maintenance/mowing as required by the FAA. Please note that the proposed project will not create any additional impervious area, and will not change the existing volume of stormwater drainage discharging into Stream 1. At the Stream 3 Project Area (Impact 3/Stream 3). which is outside of CAMA jurisdiction, three 196-fit long x 72" aluminum pipes will be installed within the open portion of Stream 3, which will connect the upstream and downstream 72" stormwater drainage pipes in order to create a closed drainage system, thereby eliminating the wildlife habitat as required by the FAA. Once the stormwater pipes have been installed, the surrounding area will be filled and graded to create a wide, gently sloping grassed swale which will collect runoff from Runway 24 and Taxiway B and funnel it into two existing grated stormwater inlets and six proposed grated stormwater inlets. The existing pipes (North Pipe: 36'; South Pipe: 42") below the two existing grated stormwater inlets will be connected to the proposed 72" pipes. The six proposed grated stormwater inlets (30-inch) will be constructed on top of the proposed 72-inch pipes. The upland area around the open portion of Stream 3 currently acts as temporary storm storage when flow during large storms (i.e. hurricanes) results in flow rates and volumes that caused the pipes to back up. The cause of the pipes backing up is primarily due to an undersized NCDOT culvert at North Kerr Avenue. When the flow in the pipes backed up, the water overflows into the upland area around Stream 3, where it is temporarily stored and eventually drains back into the open ditch once flow decreases. Since the drainage system will be closed, the two existing and eight grated storm inlets will mimic the existing conditions and will serve dual functions: • During small stone events, the grated storm inlets will collect storm runoff and convey it into the proposed pipes. • During large storm events where the volume and rate of flow is at levels resulting in the pipes backing up, water will flow out of the grated storm inlets, allowing for temporary storage in the surrounding uplands. Once flow decreases, the water will flow into the grated inlets and back into the pipes, returning the area to dry conditions. e.

The existing stormwater drainage pipes will be extended to outfall into the section of Stream 1 downstream of the perimeter fence. Impact 3 is located at the north end of Runwway 24, between Runway 24 and Taxiway B.

It was received complete on May 10, 2018, and appears to be adequate for processing at this time. The projected deadline for making a decision is July 24, 2018. An additional 75-day review period is provided by law when such time is necessary to complete the review. If you have not been notified of a final action by the initial deadline stated above, you should consider the review period extended. Under those circumstances, this letter will serve as your notice of an extended review. However, an additional letter will be provided on or about the 75th day. If this agency does not render a permit decision within 70 days from May 10, 2018, you may request a meeting with the Director of the Division of Coastal Management and permit staff to discuss the status of your project. Such a meeting will be held within five working days from the receipt of your written request and shall include the property owner, developer, and project designer/consultant. NCGS 113A-119(b) requires that Notice of an application be posted at the location of the proposed development. Enclosed you will find a 'Notice of Permit Filing" postcard which must be posted at the property of your proposed development. You should post this notice at a conspicuous point along your property where it can be observed from a public road. Some examples would be: Nailing the notice card to a telephone pole or tree along the road right-of-way fronting your property, or at a point along the road right-of-way where a private road would lead one into your property. Failure to post this notice could result in an incomplete application. An onsite inspection will be made, and if additional information is required, you will be contacted by the appropriate State or Federal agency. Please contact me if you have any questions and notify me in writing if you wish to receive a copy of my field report and/or comments from reviewing agencies.

For future projects, please visit the Raleigh Field Office's project planning website at hMs://www.fws.gov/raieiWVpp.htnit. If you are only searching for a list of species that may be present in the project's Action Area, then you may use the Service's Information, Planning, and Consultation System (IPaC) website to determine if any listed, proposed, or candidate species may be present in the Action Area and generate a species list. The IPaC website may be viewed at https://ecos.fws.gov/ipac/. The IPaC web site contains a complete and frequently updated list of all endangered and threatened species protected by the provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)(Act), a list of federal species of concern' that are known to occur in each county in North Carolina, and other resources. Section 7 of the Act requires that all federal agencies (or their designated non-federal representative), in consultation with the Service, insure that any action federally authorized, funded, or carried out by such agencies is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any federally -listed endangered or threatened species. A biological assessment or evaluation may be prepared to fulfill that requirement and in determining whether additional consultation with the Service is necessary. In addition to the federally -protected species list, information on the species' life histories and habitats and information on completing a biological assessment or The term "federal species of concern" refers to those species which the Service believes might be in need of concentrated conservation actions. Federal species of concern receive no legal protection and their designation does not necessarily imply that the species will eventually be proposed for listing as a federally endangered or threatened species. However, we recommend that all practicable measures be taken to avoid or minimize adverse impacts to federal species of concern.

Please check the web site often for updated information or changes. If your project contains suitable habitat for any of the federally -listed species known to be present within the county where your project occurs, the proposed action has the potential to adversely affect those species. As such, we recommend that surveys be conducted to determine the species' presence or absence within the project area. The use of North Carolina Natural Heritage program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys. If you determine that the proposed action may affect (i.e., likely to adversely affect or not likely to adversely affect) a federally -protected species, you should notify this office with your determination, the results of your surveys, survey methodologies, and an analysis of the effects of the action on listed species, including consideration of direct, indirect, and cumulative effects, before conducting any activities that might affect the species. If you determine that the proposed action will have no effect (i.e., no beneficial or adverse, direct or indirect effect) on federally listed species, then you are not required to contact our office for concurrence (unless an Environmental Impact Statement is prepared). However, you should maintain a complete record of the assessment, including steps leading to your determination of effect, the qualified personnel conducting the assessment, habitat conditions, site photographs, and any other related articles. With regard to the above -referenced project, we offer the following remarks. Our comments are submitted pursuant to, and in accordance with, provisions of the Endangered Species Act. Based on the information provided and other information available, it appears that the proposed action is not likely to adversely affect any federally -listed endangered or threatened species, their formally designated critical habitat, or species currently proposed for listing under the Act at these sites. We believe that the requirements of section 7(a)(2) of the Act have been satisfied for your project. Please remember that obligations under section 7 consultation must be reconsidered if. (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered; (2) this action is subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review; or, (3) a new species is listed or critical habitat determined that may be affected by the identified action. However, the Service is concerned about the potential impacts the proposed action might have on aquatic species. Aquatic resources are highly susceptible to sedimentation. Therefore, we recommend that all practicable measures be taken to avoid adverse impacts to aquatic species, including implementing directional boring methods and stringent sediment and erosion control measures. An erosion and sedimentation control plan should be submitted to and approved by the North Carolina Division of Land Resources, Land Quality Section prior to construction. Erosion and sedimentation controls should be installed and maintained between the construction site and any nearby down -gradient surface waters. In addition, we recommend maintaining natural, vegetated buffers on all streams and creeks adjacent to the project site. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has developed a Guidance Memorandum (a copy can be found on our website at (http://www.fws.gov/raleigh) to address and mitigate secondary and cumulative impacts to aquatic and terrestrial w)1RE&TEies and water quality.

Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: Both project areas currently consist of open water streams and wetland within the mowed/maintained portions of the airfield. The general land use in the vicinity consists of a mixture or commercial and residential land use. 3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property: t0.07 acres of wetlands (Wetland C) within the project areas. 3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property: ±489 If of streams within the project areas. 3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: The purpose of the proposed project is to meet FAA requirements by mitigating public safety hazards associated with aircraft travel by eliminating wildlife habitat hazards within the Runway Safety Area (RSA) and Taxiway Safety Area (TSA) to prevent wildlife strikes. The proposed project consists of piping, filling and grading Wetland C, and piping Streams 1 & 3. The FAA has identified these areas as wildlife hazards within the RSA and TSA that must be eliminated to meet FAA requirements and improve aircraft safety. These features attract both birds and terrestrial wildlife, with the terrestrial wildlife being the primary concern. These features are in very close proximity to the runway and taxiways, greatly increasing the likelihood of a wildlife strike to aircraft. Several months ago, a small passenger aircraft struck a coyote on the runway. Therefore, the proposed project is critical to improving aircraft and public safety. 3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The project consists of two separate project areas. • Stream 1 Project Area - t2.0 acres o Located south of the end of Taxiway A at Runway 35 o Let: 34.26853°N; Long:-77.902677°W o Impact 1 — Stream 1 (inland tidal water subject to CAMA jurisdiction) o Impact 2 — Wetland B (non -tidal 404 herbaceous wetland) The proposed activities at this project area consists of extending the existing stormwater drainage pipes to beyond the perimeter security fence in order to eliminate wildlife habitat within the RSA and TSA. This will be accomplished by installing a 36-inch pipe within Stream 1 which will connect to the existing 30-inch stormwater drainage pipe which ouffalis into Stream 1. A 24-inch pipe will be installed within Wetland C, which will connect to the existing 24-inch stormwater drainage pipe which discharges into Wetland C. The 24-inch pipe in Wetland C and 36-inch pipe within Stream 1 will connect at a junction box, and will transition to a 48-inch pipe which will extend beyond the perimeter fence. A head wall and wing walls will be constructed at the end of the 48-inch pipe to stabilize the proposed fill. The perimeter fence will be reconstructed on top of the headwall. A rip -rap dissipator will be installed below the outfall in order to dissipate outfall velocity and prevent erosion and sedimentation of downstream waters and wetlands. Once the stormwater pipes and headwall/wing walls have been installed, the surrounding area will be filled and graded to create a wide, gently sloping grassed Swale which will collect runoff from Runway 35 and Taxiway A and provide water quality treatment before conveying the runoff beyond the perimeter fence. Also, the filling and grading to create a gently sloping swale will allow for better vegetation maintenance/mowing as required by the FAA. Please note that the proposed project will not create any additional impervious area, and will not change the existing volume of stormwater drainage discharging into Stream 1. • Stream 3 Project Area - t2.0 acres o Located at north end of Runway 24, between Runway 24 and Taxiway B o Let: 34.275290°N;-77.894426°W o Impact 3 — Stream 3 (non -tidal stream, historically lined with concrete). The proposed activities at this project area consists of installation of three 36-inch pipes within the open portion of Stream 3, which will connect the upstream and downstream stormwater drainage pipes in order to create a closed drainage system, thereby eliminating the wildlife habitat as required by the FAA. Once the stormwater pipes have been installed, the surrounding area will be filled and graded to create a wide, gently sloping grassed swale which will collect runoff from Runway 24 and Taxiway B and funnel it into stormwater inlets. Also, the filling and grading to create a gently sloping swale will allow for better vegetation maintenance/mowing as required by the FAA.

The jurisdictional limits and status of Wetland C, Stream 1 and Stream 3 were confirmed by Kyle Dahl with the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) on 03/14/17 (SAW-2016-00075). An additional site review was conducted by Liz Hair with the USACE on 01/19/18. A Preliminary JD Request specific for these features has been provided as an Appendix. • A site visit with Chad Coburn with the NC Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) was conducted on 1/10/18 to review Wetland C, Streams 1 & 3 and to discuss the proposed impacts. • In an email dated 1/22/18, Brooks Surgan with NCDCM confirmed that the CAMA jurisdiction for Stream 1 stops at the perimeter security fence, as this feature is non -navigable upstream of the perimeter fence. The 30' CAMA AEC at the end of the CAMA jurisdiction extends 30 ft west of the perimeter fence and into the project area. A copy of Mr. Surgan's email has been provided as an Appendix. 6.

Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project. The proposed impacts are necessary to remove wildlife habitat within the RSA and TSA to meet FAA safety requirements at ILM by removing wildlife habitat to prevent wildlife strikes. Since the wildlife habitat to be removed consists of jurisdictional wetlands and streams, impacts could not be avoided or minimized. It should be noted that the wetlands and streams proposed to be impacted are highly degraded as a result of historic activities at ILM. Specifically, Welland C is not a natural wetland and was created as a result of the stormwater drainage eroding the area within Wetland C to the groundwater table. The vegetation within Wetland C consists of early successional herbaceous wetland vegetation. WithersRavenel conducted an NCWAM functional assessment of Wetland C, which determined that the functional value was "Low". Stream 1 is an inland tidal stream which was historically channelized to convey stormwater from the closed stormwater management system beyond the perimeter fence. The channelization and down cutting has resulted in very steep banks. Stream 1 experiences significant erosion of the banks, resulting in sedimentation of the downstream section of Stream 1 and ultimately Smith Creek. The proposed piping of Stream 1 will result in overall improvements to the water quality within downstream portions of Stream 1 and Smi Creek by eliminating the current erosion and sediment transport into these REGtIVtU NLGLIVED Page 7 of 12 DCM WILMINGTON. NC MAY 31 2018 PCN Form — Version 1.3 December 10, 2008 Version DCM-MHD CITY streams. WithersRavenel conducted an NCSAM functional assessment of Stream 1, which determined that the functional value was "Low". Stream 3 has been historically lined with concrete to prevent erosion, which effectively eliminated the functional value of the open portions of Stream 3. 1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques. Silt fence will be installed around all disturbed areas to prevent sediment from escaping into adjacent waters. Access during construction will occur through uplands. 2.

JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One) ✓❑ I am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminary JD for the property identified herein. A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) provides an indication that there may be "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United States"on a property. PJDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. For the purposes of permitting, all waters and wetlands on the property will be treated as if they are jurisdictional "waters of the United States". PJDs cannot be appealed (33 C.F.R. 331.2); however, a PJD is "preliminary" in the sense that an approved JD can be requested at any time. PJDs do not expire. I am requesting that the Corps provide an approved JD for the property identified herein. An Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) is a determination that jurisdictional "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United States" are either present or absent on a site. An approved JD identifies the limits of waters on a site determined to be jurisdictional under the Clean Water Act and/or Rivers and Harbors Act. Approved JDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. AJDs are appealable (33 C.F.R. 331.2). The results of the AJD will be posted on the Corps website. A landowner, permit applicant, or other "affected party" (33 C.F.R. 331.2) who receives an AJD may rely upon the AJD for five years (subject to certain limited exceptions explained in Regulatory Guidance Letter 05- 02). ❑ I am unclear as to which JD I would like to request and require additional information to inform my decision.
